In addition to the emotions, the American diplomat Yuri Kim conveyed many messages hidden behind the symbols, during the farewell speech, at the end of the mandate as the US ambassador in Tirana.
The non-verbal messages conveyed by the ambassador have been as powerful as the direct ones. So today she "spoke" also through the style of clothing and accessories she had chosen for her farewell speech.
The swallow pin on the ambassador's white jacket could not fail to catch the eye. In Mythology, the swallow is a symbol of spring, warmth and rebirth or the beginning of a new life.
The swallow symbolizes metamorphosis, renewal, hope, family and resurrection.
The swallow travels and returns to its nest again, and with this symbol, the diplomat probably wanted to tell us that she has not finally left her nest, Albania, but will always be here.
The golden color of the swallow pin indicates success, achievements and triumph, implying that her several years of experience in Albania were positive.
The diplomat preferred the color white in her farewell speech as America's ambassador in Tirana, unlike her first welcome speech on January 27, 2020, where she chose black.
White has been used in many cultures over the centuries because it symbolizes purity and innocence. According to surveys in Europe and the United States of America, white is the color most associated with perfection, goodness, honesty, purity, beginning, newness, neutrality, peace or accuracy.
In the society of Ancient Rome, white symbolized integrity, strength and authority, making it one of the most enduring symbols. Since 1566, the Pope, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has worn white as a symbol of virtue and sacrifice.
We remind you that in the last days of her mandate as ambassador to Albania, Yuri Kim has taken on a new task. At the US Department of State in Washington, she will hold the position of deputy. assistant secretary for European affairs.
Meanwhile, after the departure of Ambassador Kim, American diplomacy in Tirana will be represented by David J. Kostelancik, who has served as a diplomat in our country before.
